Write an essay that analyzes how that item sends a
message about your identity, your values and beliefs. And how does
that same item might mean something very different to others?
Thesis: Muslim women wear Hijabs and Niqabs for
religious purposes like showing respect to Allah, they also wear it as part of
their culture for it makes them look beautiful. The wearing of Hijab and Niqab
among the Muslim women has faced controversies and stereotyping from the people.
The paper talks about how the society stereotypes women wearing hijabs thinking
they are terrorists, how Muslim women still love their culture despite this and
how hypocritical the fashion industry is by exhibition of the same scarfs in
the runway.
Point # 1: The society constantly stereotypes women
putting on Hijab and often link them to being terrorists.
Evidence: When I started my new job at a bookstore, my
employer told me not to put on my hijab at work because of the fear of people
mistaking me for a terrorist.
Evidence: France has also banned the wearing of hijabs
in school since 2003 based on the same allegations. While these laws only
benefit the outside society who are afraid of terrorism, it makes the religion
feel degraded and disrespected when the whole religion is marked as terrorists.
Point #2: Although the society criticizes me for
wearing a hijab. I love my culture and its components like the use of Hijab.
Evidence: Minnesota congresswoman is one of my role
models for upholding my culture
She is not bothered
by what anyone says about her Hijab (Badran, 2017).Although she might be an inspiration to many Muslim women,
she also attracts the same amount of hate and stereotyping.
Evidence: Not only does it make me feel closer to
Allah, it also makes me feel beautiful but also connected to my Muslim family.
Point # 3: While the society judges me and associates
me with being a terrorist, the fashion industry uses scarves to display fashion
in the runway.
Evidence: Amani’s article shows how they use the Muslim
culture to display fashion in the runway but at the same time ban Muslim women
from putting on hijabs. This is not fair to the Islam religion.
Evidence: The article on “Politics of the Hoodie”
condemns stereotyping of people by stating that the hoodie has many meanings as
at times it can be interpreted as an element of defending oneself or used for
breaking the law. It shows how people wearing hoodies are profiled as criminals
(Patterson, 2016). The hypocrisy by the society
celebrating models on the runway wearing scarves but condemning Muslim women
speaks volumes on where we stand as a world.
